Review:

~~~RECEIVED FOR HONEST REVIEW~~~



Loved this story!  The storyline is remarkable and well written as well as easy to follow.  It gives a hidden lesson of learning to heal and cope with the pain of your life.  One heck of a story.  If you haven't read this series yet, I strongly recommend it!


 Excerpt 

“You keep telling me to trust you, but I don’t know if I can. Not after everything that happened in Vegas.” I’m annoyed he isn’t offering any details about the mystery sender just like he couldn’t explain himself in the hotel room. Even if I am incredibly upset with him, part of me still wants to believe he would never intentionally put me in danger. My anger wins over my feelings for him and I tell him the truth, “Your word kind of means shit to me right now, Sean.” I hug my knees a little tighter. The only thing I’m sure of right now is that I can’t keep walking around with this shitty armor. I’ll have to check into actual Mace. No more furniture polish.
Sean stands up and holds out his hands encouraging me to get up off the floor. He helps me up and pulls my body close for a hug. “Please don’t be scared. I won’t let anyone hurt you, I swear. I’m so mad at you right now, but I’ll never stop protecting you.”

Excerpt
I finally get a closer inspection of this mysterious stranger. I love what I see. Ryan has to be close to six feet tall with broad shoulders and a defined waist I could wrap my legs around. I bet he has that v thing happening and seriously chiseled abs. I can tell he works out and definitely has an athletic build, but it’s his smile that lights up his whole face and those eyes….golden brown with a hint of green. I never knew hazel could be so alluring. They’re the perfect complement to his sandy brown hair that I would love to run my fingers through and tug on while we make out in the supply room. Not that I would do that or anything, just hypothetically speaking. His tan skin is seriously sexy making it look like he just came back from an exotic vacation. What are the odds of seeing this guy twice in the first hour I’ve been here? I will chalk it up to beginners luck. Surely that applies to meeting strangers and not just board games. I snap back to reality, realizing I am openly gawking, and finally manage to speak.

 About the Author:
Writing has been a passion of mine since high school when I took my very first creative writing class. I was lucky enough to take a few creative writing and English classes in college that fueled my desire to create. With the encouragement of my friends and family, I decided to write my first novella series. I'm also an active wife and mother. When I have a quiet moment, I love to swap my play-doh for my laptop. There's nothing more satisfying than creating art.

 THANK YOU for taking a chance on me. If I can connect with just one reader, then the journey is worth it!

Happy Reading!
